St. Andrew the Apostle in Worcester MA; New Church Video Projection, Deeper Understanding



Supporting Multilingual Congregation with Church Video Projection
Multilingual congregations are benefitting from hymn translations of projection screens as part of church video systems from PSNE.

 “We definitely love it!” said the kind staff when asked how they were enjoying the new church video system at St. Andrew the Apostle.

The Projects I. Audio Visual Systems: St. Andrew the Apostle in Worcester Massachusetts wanted to add video projection to the Mass. A custom Church Video Projection system was designed by Power Sound of New England.  Two motorized retractable 12-foot projections screens are the highlight! We integrated the video projector with both cameras and computers for a variety of kinds of presentations. II. A church sound system upgrade was also done as part of the AV system design and installation project.
Church Video – The primary goal for video projection: St. Andrew the Apostle was seeking a way to assist the multilingual congregation with hymn lyrics. The African Ministry at the parish has parishioners speaking Swahili, the Burundi language of Rundi, and English. Hymn translations projected from a computer onto the large format projections screens answered the call. Now the parish has expanded their use of the system for English speaking Masses as well. Ideal for displaying church news, religious imagery, photographs of events, and more; church video systems are a effective addition to extending the reach of worship.
Beyond the walls – A congregation exists far beyond the walls of the sanctuary. With live steaming for websites video projection can deliver Services and Mass anywhere, in real time.
PSNE spoke of the growing need of houses of worship to better support multilingual congregations, “We are often called upon to design custom video projection systems for churches with congregations made up of worshipers speaking many languages. Providing translations of hymn lyrics and church messages is easier than ever with video projection.”

Cameras capture Altar activity to project onto screens
Cameras - We integrated the parish’s existing cameras into the new audio visual system. This offers the church the ability to use the church video system by utilizing cameras to record altar activities. This feature of video projection at churches is ideal for projecting wedding ceremonies, baptisms and other special altar services onto screens for large-format viewing. It can always be used to manage overflow attendance in spaces including community halls, the foyer or narthex, a mother’s room, or anywhere.
Churches are benefiting from video systems outside of weekend Masses or Worship Services. Used often for the presentation of films for religious education or family-friendly entertainment video projection may be controlled from different chosen locations at St. Andrew the Apostle including the loft or in the sanctuary from a windows-based laptop computer, Mac-based ipad or iphone.
Church Sound – As part of the AV installation PSNE retrofitted the church audio system. A Highlight: New Pro Bose® speakers, designed for the church environment, offer greatly improved sound quality and intelligibility. 

How’s the sound in your church? How about the Sunday school, community hall, classrooms, or nursery? Perhaps your congregation and staff want and need much clearer, much more intelligible sound? We can help identify and solve the audio challenges for your church. To learn about today’s church sound solutions, visit our website to read about audio visual systems for worship.
